Santa Monica

Photographer's Note

Sitting out on the shady sidewalk sipping coffee in a heavy morning sightseeing, the sun reflected off a building opposite and spotlighted these chairs.
In PSE cropped top to remove car wheels and bottom to balance, removed colour and adjusted levels a little, and sharpen.

Good graphism & repetition, especially the shadow. Welcome to TE!

Astonishing ! A so pure and geometrical point of view for these chairs. An artistical point of view I would say ! The details are so well rendered, the centring perfectly done and the B&W choice rendering so nice contrast in these various lights reflecting on the ground and the parts of the chairs. Very well done !

And Welcome to TE Peter !

The composition on this one is perfect Peter, a fine B&W photo. VThe result is dramatic enough and really interesting. Congrats!

Nice shot!
Great POV, and I really like the contrast.
Perfect sharpness, and well cropped.
Only thing I would have suggested is to maybe added a bit of blur into the background- say at about the curb?
Regardless- Good shot.
Happy Shootig!

Great result, Peter, you turned what initially might seem like a mundane view into a genuine work of art. It's crisp and well contrasted, the light is supremely rendered, and it looks beautiful in b&w. Well done, congratulations.

B&W was a great choise, the shadows are fantastic and i specially love the shine of the sun on the chair arms. The contrast is good and so the sharpen.

Well done, it´s fabulous!
